Скачать или смотреть Cyclone Alfred’s Impact on Gold Coast Beaches | Aaron Salyer on Sunrise with Sam Mac

The aftermath of Cyclone Alfred has sparked major discussions about coastal erosion and beach recovery on the Gold Coast. Aaron Salyer, Coastal Engineer and Director of ‪@internationalcoastalmanagement‬ (ICM), joined Sam Mac on ‪@sunrise‬ (‪@SevenNetworkAU‬) to break down how the city’s world-class coastal resilience system handled the storm and what happens next.

Key Takeaways from the Interview:
Erosion scarps look dramatic, but they show the dune system absorbed wave energy as designed.
The sand isn’t all lost, much of it has moved offshore into sandbars and most will naturally return over time.
Why the Gold Coast’s urban dunes, terminal seawalls, and sand bypassing systems are world-leading.
How quickly will the beaches recover? Council’s restoration efforts and strategic sand nourishment can help speed up the process.
The Gold Coast’s engineered resilience strategies are a model for coastal cities worldwide.
